The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

A head drawn entirely in fine engraved line, parallel hatching and cross hatching building all of the tone, printed in one single ink colour, placed on a completely flat saturated background with no texture or gradient whatsoever. The antique density of the line against the modern flat ground is the point. Nothing else in the frame, no border, no lettering.
